In their own words
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 replaces every tooth in an arch, upper, lower or both, with a fixed bridge supported by just four implants. Two are placed vertically at the front where bone is strongest; two are angled at up to 45° at the back, cleverly avoiding the sinus above and the nerve below.
That angulation is the genius of the technique: it uses the bone you already have, which is why most All-on-4 patients avoid bone grafting entirely, and why the provisional bridge can usually be fixed to the implants on the very day of surgery. You never go home without teeth.

All-on-4 treatment, step by step
One surgery day, fixed teeth immediately, final bridge at 3–6 months.
All-on-4 at every age
Full-arch problems arrive at different ages for different reasons, the solution adapts.
Younger adults
Rarer, but real: severe trauma, genetic conditions affecting teeth, or decay that spiralled. All-on-4 gives a definitive reset decades of patchwork dentistry can't, planned around a long life ahead.
Failing dentition
Gum disease and heavily-filled teeth often reach a tipping point here. Rather than losing teeth one by one over years, one planned treatment stops the decline for good.
The denture escape
The classic All-on-4 patient: done with adhesive, covered palates and careful chewing. Fixed teeth restore around 90% of natural bite force, and dinner menus open right back up.
Older adults
No upper age limit, bone integrates with titanium at any age. For many older patients All-on-4 is less about appearance and everything about eating well, speaking clearly and staying social.

All-on-4 vs complete denture vs All-on-6
The honest comparison for replacing a full arch of teeth.
| All-on-4 Dental Implants | Complete Denture | All-on-6 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed or removable | Fixed, only your dentist removes it | Removable; relies on suction or adhesive | Fixed, only your dentist removes it |
| Teeth on surgery day | Usually yes, fixed provisional same day | Immediate denture possible | Usually yes, fixed provisional same day |
| Bone graft likelihood | Low, angled implants use existing bone | None needed | Higher, six sites need more bone |
| Chewing power | ~90% of natural bite | ~25–50% of natural bite | ~90%+, with extra load-sharing |
| Jawbone over time | Preserved, implants stimulate bone | Shrinks continuously under the denture | Preserved, with two extra stimulation points |
| Best suited to | Most full-arch cases | Budget-first or medically limited cases | Heavier bites, longer bridges, ample bone |

Guarantees decoded
- What's covered: the implant fixture, the bridge, or both? Honest guarantees split them (e.g. 10 years fixtures, 5 years bridge)
- What's excluded: gum disease, grinding without a nightguard, smoking, missed maintenance, reasonable when disclosed, ambushes when discovered later
- What's required of you: nearly all guarantees are conditional on attending reviews and hygiene visits, which is fair, maintenance is what makes implants last
- Who honours it: a guarantee is only as durable as the clinic behind it; get it in the treatment plan, not the brochure
All-on-4 FAQs
In most cases, yes. Extractions, implant placement and fitting your fixed provisional bridge all happen in one planned visit, you arrive with failing teeth and leave the same day with fixed ones. Nobody sees you without teeth at any point.
Soft foods for the first 6–8 weeks, pasta, fish, eggs, well-cooked vegetables, soft bread. It protects the implants while bone grows onto them. We build you back up gradually, and once the final bridge is on, there are essentially no restrictions.
The same-day provisional is lighter acrylic, built for the healing phase. The final bridge, fitted at 3–6 months once your gums have settled into their permanent shape, is stronger, more lifelike, and precision-fitted to the healed gum line.
No, and that's the point. The bridge is screwed to the implants and stays fixed. Only your dentist removes it, typically once a year for a professional deep clean and inspection. Day to day, you clean it in place like natural teeth.
It's uncommon, and the protocol is well rehearsed: the implant is removed, the site heals or is grafted, and a replacement is placed. Often the bridge can be supported by the remaining implants in the meantime, so you're not left without teeth.
No. The bridge carries a slim gum-coloured section only where your own gum has receded, and it's designed to sit above your smile line, so when you smile, only teeth show. Modern zirconia bridges are routinely mistaken for natural teeth, even up close.
